Tiger Woods for Android Review

Bryan Sherman — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:05:28 +0000

One of the powerful things about the Android, in my opinion, is the fact that you are not held captive by one way of getting applications for your phone. The Android Market is very convenient, but you can also go other routes to purchase and install applications.

One of the other sources is Handmark. They have been around for a while, and I recall purchasing from them back in my Palm days. If you go to their website, you can set what your phone is, and searches will then only display those applications that work with your phone.

ColorBuster iPhone Puzzle Game Review

Julie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:24:40 +0000

Although I almost never play video games on my desktop computer or even my lonely Xbox 360, I do find that I love playing games on my iPhone. I guess the reason why is because there are so many easy to play and good puzzle games to choose from. I think puzzles games are the best platform for the iPhone since the phone has no physical buttons. I find it hard to play arcade games with touch screen controls. Puzzle games on the other hand are made for the iPhone. The latest game to find a spot on my phone is Unicorn Multimedia’s ColorBuster. … [visit site to read more]

Spotlight Gadget – Mattel’s Mindflex Game

Julie — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 16:36:22 +0000

Have you heard about the new Mindflex game from Mattel that is due out this Fall? It’s a mental acuity game where you use your thoughts to move a ball through an obstacle course. I’ll admit that I’m pretty skeptical that this is real. That said, the videos make it look kind of fun. Maybe if I get this game and become really good at it, I can use my super brain moving powers to clean the house while I sit on my butt in front of the TV. Hmmmmm… Video clips after the jump. … [visit site to read more]
